HOME DECORATION.

Decorative art has reached the laundry,
where they now have chamois iron-holders
with the initials or crest of our faithful
head laundresses.
American wallpaper manufacturers show
fine goods equaling in beauty OF design and
perfection of finish the imported papers.
The home manufactures are leading with
many art furnishers on account of their
softness in tone and artistic adaptation.

Small umbrellas are effective for shades
of lamps and gas chandeliers. Those of
japanese paper are covered with orange,
pink or crimson roses made out of tissue
paper, and are fastened as shield at one
side on the globe. A large bow of ribbon
of the same color fastens the handle.
Very handsome frames for photographs,
engravings or water color sketches, may be
made by cumming vines, berries, the more
solid grasses, or grains upon ordinary pine
frames, and gliding them with several coats
of best gold paint. The effect is excellent,
and similar to modelling. Handsome pam
els may be made in the same way. Oak
leaves and acorns may be bronzed or gilded
with charming effect as also the smaller
pine cones or tassels. The colored bronzes
are very pretty when used for this work.
The pine-cone tassels, as ornaments for
valences or scarfs, are unique and beauti-
full. Bronzed or gilded, they are fastened
with small wire loop, also gilded. Car
mine and green are the most snowy of the
colored bronzes.- The Ladies Home Journal

PRESERVATION OF THE DEAD.-In speak

Gaillard's Medical Monthly says that Ed

decayed 463 years subsequently. The flesh
on his face was a little wasted, but not
putrid The body of Canute, who died in
1017, was found fresh in 1766. Those Of
William the Conqueror and his wife were
perfect in 1922 In 1869 three Roman
soldiers, in the dress OF the country, fully
equipped with arms, were dug out of a peat
moss near Aberdeen. They were quite
fresh and plump after lapse of about 800
years. In 17l7 the bodies of Lady Kilsyth
and her infant were embalmed. In 1796
they were found as perfect as in the hour
they were embalmed Every feature and
limb vas full The infants features were
as composed as if he had only been asleep
for eighty years his color was as fresh and
his flesh as plump and full as in the per-

A JUICES WIT-Judge R. of Alabama,
who had belonged to every political party
known in his State, and who nevertheless
retained the good win of his fellow-towns
men, did so by the exercise of considerable
mother wit. One day, after giving some
unpalatable political advice to his neigh
bors, a gentleman said to him: Judge, /
can place no confidence in your advice.
remember at the beginning of the war how
confidently you assured Us that the Yankees
would be whipped in two months. Why,
heard you say that we could whip them
with popguns p " / did make that asser-
ton, replied the Judge, with dignity,
and l maintain it still. We could have
whipped them with popguns, but they
wouldn't fight that way.

MINNEsoTA's Boosted DRYNEss GONE
The present winter has been one of the
most trying in its extreme cold and sudden
changes that has ever been known in the
Northwest. That more or less sickness
should result from it is to be expected.
Pulmonary diseases, throat troubles, and
all ailments which result from conditions
of temperature are to be looked for. 0rdi-
narily. in the dry atmosphere of our Min
nesota winters, children do not need a
great deal of wrapping. Roughing it is an
impetus to health and strength in every
life up here in Minnesota. The healthiest
and hardest children are those for whom
storms have no terror, and who wouldn't
give the snap of finger whether il was 20o
above zero or 20o below. But this season
is different from our ordinary Minnesota
winters. There is more dampness in the
air than usual, and more sudden changes
than we have been accustomed to.-S.

THE DERIVATION OF OUR STATES

The Romance from Whence it is Said
to have Sprung in the Six

In his recent annual report to the Gov

says;
In preparing history of the geological
surveys and explorations of California,
frequently met with the statement that the
name of our State was derived from Span

was ignored or contradicted by other au-
